Forty-nine children for tonsillectomy were entered in a prospective controlled single blind study to compare the post-tonsillectomy morbidity of bipolar diathermy as opposed to ligation for haemostasis. We found no significant difference in post-operative discomfort nor reactionary or secondary haemorrhage in the two methods used. This is the first controlled trial where bipolar, rather than unipolar diathermy is used, and compared with ligation in the operation of tonsillectomy.
49名接受扁桃体切除术的儿童被纳入一项前瞻性对照单盲研究，以比较双极电凝与结扎止血法在扁桃体切除术后的发病率。我们发现，所使用的两种方法在术后不适、继发性或二次出血方面没有显著差异。这是第一项使用双极而非单极电凝并与扁桃体切除术中的结扎法进行比较的对照试验。
